These brilliant long lost photos capture life at a famous Liverpool brewery back in the 1980s.
One of Liverpool’s most well-known brewing names, Higsons was an institution in the city for over 200 years. Founded in 1780, generations of beer lovers in the city have loved a Higsons pint, or worked for the company itself.
Best known for its cask bitter, the brewery was also renowned for its punning beermats of "Famous Old Higsonians", with characters including Birk’n’Head, Ann Field, Wallace E Tunnel and secret agent M62. It always kept its roots in the city centre, from its early days on 64 Dale Street, when a small brewery was established by a Mr William Harvey.
